Fiji orders Australian, NZ diplomats out
The Associated Press , Suva | Tue, 11/03/2009 2:18 PM | World
Fiji's military ruler is expelling top diplomats from Australia and New Zealand for allegedly interfering in the country's affairs.
Commodore Frank Bainimarama, who seized power in a 2006 coup, said Tuesday the diplomats have 24 hours to leave Fiji.
The move dramatically escalates a dispute about a group of expatriate judges from Sri Lanka that Fiji wants to hire.
Australia and New Zealand told the judges this week that if they take up the posts they would be subject to travel bans the two countries have placed on all senior officials in Bainimarama's regime because of the coup.
